In 2018 she was runner-up at the German Girls Open, one stroke behind Ingrid Lindblad, and in 2019 runner-up at the Internazionali d'Italia Femminili U18. She placed 5th at the 2019 Girls Amateur Championship after finishing as the leading qualifier for the match play stage. [2]

At the World Junior Girls Championship in Canada, she won the team gold in 2018 and lost a playoff to Seo-yun Kwon in 2017 for the individual title, was runner-up two strokes behind Atthaya Thitikul in 2018, and was third in 2019, again behind winner Thitikul.

Nobilio won the girls' individual silver at the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics after prevailing in a playoff against Emma Spitz of Austria and Yuka Saso of the Philippines. [3]

Ranked as one of the best juniors in Europe, she represented the continent in the Junior Solheim Cup and Junior Ryder Cup, as well as the Junior Vagliano Trophy and the Vagliano Trophy.

Nobilio reached the number three spot in the World Amateur Golf Ranking and in 2020 accepted a golf scholarship to UCLA where she is a business economics major.
